Last Scene Done!!

Last night around 11:30 I finished writing the last scene in Sleeping With the Wolf!!


I'm taking a couple days away from the book to clear my palate. Then on Tuesday night I have to go back and re-read the whole thing start to finish and make notes about what needs to go and what needs to be expanded. It is at approximately 33,000 words, and the contest limit is 28,000, so I'll need to be ruthless. I want to get it cleaned up by next weekend, when I'm meeting with friends who have generously offered to do some proofreading and make basic editing suggestions. One is a high school english teacher who also proofs for a mystery author, and the others are avid readers. I think they will be kind but honest.

Now, off to spend the cool rainy Sunday afternoon knitting.
